The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about the "voice" of different fonts, and to let you become familiar with different font families. It will also help you familiarize yourself with InDesign text formatting and develop your own typographic "style."


Your mission:
• Design a tabloid size page (11"x17") filled with 6-12 great movie quotes.
• Stick to black, white, and shades of gray (use the "tint" slider to create gray)
• The quotes will be styled in appropriate fonts.
• Make one quote the largest (remember "dominance"). (And don't be a wimp!)
• For at least one of the quotes, assign different sizes to words within the quote itself. (Create a new text box when you change sizes so you can position it more easily)
• Normally we'll stick to two font families per design but for this one, you can go nuts.
• Have fun with the type -- but keep it clean and simple.



Note: After you select your page size in InDesign, go to Window -> Workspace -> [Typography]

The "Character" window will help you out with font sizes, families, weight, spacing, etc.
